From news, to shitposting, to memes, to more shitposting, Lemmy feels vibrant, active, lighthearted, fun and even powerful. Mastodon feels like a fucking funeral.

Lemmy is working as interests based discussion platform and mastodon as gossip based. Interests are always better than people.

Small minds discuss people. Average minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas.

Can confirm. I can only think of few people to follow on mastodon, whereas on Lemmy, I can think of many topics to follow. Besides, on mastodon, those interesting people will also discuss boring topics from time to time.

On Lemmy, you can only focus on interesting topics, which means that your home feed will always be full of cool stuff.
